Conventional Wisdom Back to Back to Back
This convention schedule we have this month is highly unusual for us. We tend to do one convention a month these days if that. Occasionally there will be two but there is usual a week or two in between them.
This is the first time since before Caroline was born that we have done three in a row and I am remembering why we decided to limit it.
The conventions themselves are fun. Staying at the hotel is fine.
Travel is where I am getting very tired because travel is stress from start to finish. There is no such thing as a leisurely airplane or car ride any more.
I know we will walk away with a couple more good stories and Peter will make a lot of fans happy with his wit and signature.
Caroline will sell artwork and have fun running around and looking at everything in the room or rooms.
I am not bringing puppets to this one or if I do, it’s going to be something like the War Doctor that doesn’t take up much room. No rod puppets, which will allow me to baby my left hand.
My left hand is improving but still hurts a lot. I can see the bruise is starting to heal. I have a feeling this is going to take a while to do so. So carrying things with my left is problematic at best.
This convention I have to worry about luggage and airlines taking care of luggage. Weight limits and the like are running around in my brain.
After this week, we get a week at home and then in three weeks is the NYCC special edition which is in our neck of the woods.
I am grateful for smooth travel.
